Anyone here into rock/wall climbing?

I'm thinking about taking an instructional course to learn the basics and see if this is a hobby I'd like to take up. Better than hook rugs, macrame, or needlepoint. It's like one night of instruction on the basics and then I can go to open climbing on Tuesday evenings.

Is this fun? Looks fun.

I climbed quite a bit when I was lighter. I've never done it on a rock wall though. It was pretty fun, kind of scary. HUGE forearm pumps. It costs about as much as a snowboard setup to get all your stuff.

I may do Tae Kwon Do instead.

My friend's mom is a black belt in TKD. Although it's not the best fighting art (as demonstrated by UFC) she's managed to stay pretty fit for approx. age 60.

My son was a high brown belt when he quit TKD. I always thought it looked fun and like something I would enjoy.
